    Windows 10 Professional isn't on the Media Creation Tool?


    Ok, so I downloaded the Media Creation Tool on my computer that's currently running W10 Pro RTM build. I opened the new MCT, and all I see is "Windows 10 64bit". Where is Windows 10 Pro?

    I assumed that "Windows 10 64bit" included both Home and Pro, but after I did a clean install using a USB drive, it installed Windows 10 Home on my computer!

    :)

    Windows 10 Profession Clean install for Windows 7 Professional system.

    Is there a way to perform a clean install for Windows 10 Professional. I currently have a Windows 7 Professional system but do not want to go through the upgrade process. I would prefer to perform a clean install. I have the Media Creation tool for Windows
    10 but do not see a method to select Windows 10 Professional in the "Edition" drop down. The only option is for "Windows 10" or "Windows 10 N". No explanation as to what "Windows 10 N" is. Found this statement "“N” and “KN” editions follow the upgrade
    path of the parent edition (e.g., Windows 7 Professional N upgrades to Windows 10 Pro N)."
    However this does not does not indicate which I should select in the Media Creation Tool edition. If someone can confirm that the Media Creation Tool will allow the installation of Windows 10 Professional Edition and which "Edition" option to select would
    be great.

    Thanks in advance.

  6. Same issue here. Look, I'm really starting to hate this OS, especially due to how they are managing marketing and distribution.
    I think those guy not even know that not everybody in the world got a 100mbit connection. You can't stop the updates without killing the "background 'smartest' transfer service", futhermore is impossible to pause and continue the mediacreation tool process. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Wtf are they doing?

    let us know if you solve the problem. Thanks.

    When you download the image has both home and pro for the selected architecture (x64 or x86).

    You make the selection between Home and Pro when the install starts.

    Do an update and it will install whatever version you have, obviously it does not work using a USB going by above quoted experiences.
    You will have the choice of retaining all your old folders and settings, or a clean install.

  10. I have 5pcs and I assume the update is about 3gb

    so are they merged in a single iso?

    Just over, yes. You can use the same ISO for all machines, home or Pro as long as they are all 32 bit or all 64 bit. If you have some 32 and some 64 you'll need to download 2 ISOs.

    The update option is using the "Windows Media Tool" to download directly onto computer.

  14. Ok thanks. I'll be fine with the x64 iso. Hope it works because it will take days to download

  15. Ok. I'm used to download the iso because I can keep it safe in just in case the setup fails
